00:00Sprinting to the future of law, ah, what a relief!
00:06Adapting to Ambient Intelligence
00:09Part 3 Use Cases of Ambient Intelligence
00:21In the previous part of this issue, we examined key characteristics of ambient intelligence.
00:29In this part, we will talk about who could be interested in ambient intelligence.
00:37Residential property developers obviously would be most interested in AMI systems.
00:43They can build smart houses that can provide pleasant living experiences to residents,
00:49monitor their safety and security, promptly act in medical and other emergency situations,
00:55and optimize energy consumption based on occupancy and weather conditions.
01:03Hospitals and healthcare services would also be interested in AMI.
01:07They can remotely monitor patients, deliver precision medicine and other interventions when needed,
01:13and provide telemedicine services.
01:17By using AMI, retail establishments can enhance entire shopping experiences
01:24through smart mirrors, robotic assistants, and automatic queue-less checkouts,
01:30provide individualized recommendations, and optimize inventory management.
01:37City planners and managers can use AMI to manage urban infrastructure,
01:42immediately recognize and adapt to changing patterns of energy use, traffic movements, etc.,
01:48improve waste management, and increase public safety.
01:54Police and emergency services can monitor, identify, respond properly to emergency incidents.
02:01They can also direct emergency response teams with greater accuracy in a timely manner.
02:09Educational institutes can use AMI to monitor student behavior and individual performance.
02:16They can intervene inconspicuously to improve learning at the individual, group, and institutional level.
02:25Through AMI, the automotive sector can offer cars with voice control and advanced navigation systems,
02:32improve automotive safety, convenience, and comfort,
02:36and optimize vehicle performance, fuel efficiency, and entertainment system
02:41based on the driver's performance and driving patterns.
02:47Manufacturing facilities and workplaces can improve working conditions in factories and offices,
02:54increase employee safety and security,
02:57reduce accidents with voice-integrated controls, and optimize power production and distribution.
03:07So ambient intelligence has many applications beyond enhancing living experiences of individuals.
03:14In the next part of this issue, we will discuss some legal and regulatory issues with ambient intelligence.
